Beginning at midnight on Wednesday, June 20th and ending at midnight on Thursday, June 21st, New York’s WKCR-FM (89.9 on the dial) will be hosting an historic event: the 24-Hour Ragas Live Festival, featuring live performances by Indian classical musicians for a full 24 hours, presenting ragas specific to the season and time of day (with a few Carnatic performances thrown in for good measure)! The festival is part of the Make Music NY festival happening throughout the city, and is being co-sponsored by the Brooklyn Raga Massive and HarmoNYom. Here is a list of the performers and times (I’m performing at 7pm!):

This is a wonderful opportunity to hear performances of ragas at their proper times, and by some truly talented artists. The festival will be recorded and featured on both the WKCR online archives on wkcr.org and on podcast site nycradiolive.org. For more information, visit HarmoNYom.org. Happy listening!
